Danilo Petrucci has confirmed he could compete in WorldSBK this 💞season should his MotoAmerica commitments allow for it. 

Petrucci, who re-signed with Ducati to compete in the 2022 MotoAmerica champions꧑hip following six seasons in MotoGP with the Bologna-based manufacturer, has been testing alongside several WorldSBK riders at Portimao. 

The two-day test which ends today, is Petrucci’s first time riding the Panigale V4 since be꧑ing a part of Ducati’s WorldSBK testing team a few years ago. 

The bike Petrucci rode in Portugal is the same spec bike he will ride for the Warhorse HSBK Racing 🅷Team.

Speaking after his on track duties finished a♏t the Algarve International Circuit, Petrucci left the door o♐pen regarding a possible participation in ‘some WorldSBK races’. 

Petrucci told WorldSBK.com: "Ma🗹ybe it could be an option if the r𒁃aces are not on the same weekend. I would be happy to race in WorldSBK for some races. 

"For sure, our target is to compete in MotoAmerica. I have never raced in WorldSBK. I was in ST💦K600 and STK1000 and I was a test rider in WorldSBK always for Ducati, but I never did a race. 

"I would be curious❀ to participate in one round. It could be very, very fun. For sure, first our main target is the USA."

Before taking part 🌺in this week’s WorldSBK test, Petrucci was most recently involved in the 2022 Dakar Rally wher🎃e he claimed a brilliant stage five win.

Petrucci's stage five victory re🐎sulted in him b♒ecoming the first ever rider to win in both MotoGP and the off-road Rally.
